Decided

I just decided on my names, I was trying to figure out something pretty for a girl with chris in it after my dad so,

Alena Christel Grace

Nolan William Anthony

I am unsure on Nolan, I am not in love with that one, but mns are family and a must. Alena pronounced like Aleena or Alina.

What do you think?

I like them both - I actually really like Nolan. But do you think Alena will be mispronounced alot? May not be a big issue, but until I read your pronunciation, I said A-lay-na.

Also, just out of curiousity, but why would you want something with Chris in it for a girl name and not a boy name?

I was wondering about that too?

I think I've seen "Elena" be pronounced "ah-LEY-nah" but I had a friend in middle school named Alena who pronounced it "ah-LEE-nah" so that's what _I_ read when I saw it.  ^_^

I'm not sure about the spelling of "Christel," cuz it is totally unfamiliar to me.  (I'm a huge fan of spelling things in old-school ways.)  I would spell it Crystal.  Or maybe choose Christa.  OOH!  Or (I just found this on BabyNamesWorld) Chrisanna!  (It's greek for "marigold!")

I like the boy name, but not the girl name. If I just saw "Alena," I wouldn't know how to pronounce it and the spelling "Christel" looks really weird.

Girl name is NMS, and Christel is AWFUL. Sorry. Boy name is pretty good.

Alena is pretty, but will be mispronounced all the time. I pronounce it ah-leen-ah. I don't like Nolan.
